Saturday was an eventful day at Rexall Place - particularly for an off-day - with several injury updates coming out of the Oilers dressing room.

Sheldon Souray remarked that he tweaked his shoulder on Friday against the Sharks but it was nothing too serious and certainly not related to last season's shoulder injury. Sam Gagner left practice early with a nagging ankle injury and is questionable for Sunday.

Head coach Craig MacTavish talked about Zack Stortini's injury as well. He said the Oilers enforcer strained his knee. The injury is not nearly as serious as previously thought but he'll still be out for some time.

MacTavish also touched on the potential for more call-ups as well as the team's recent play of late.
